Chrome and Vinyl Kitchen Sets to Die for
For a lot of people, a dream kitchen doesn't always come with contemporary furnishings. Many of us are far more interested in the designs and decor of the past, while others are consumed by the fashions of the future. Both types will be satisfied with retro kitchen decor from the 50's that manages to combine a sense of nostalgia with a hint of futurisitic styling. These elements come together best in a retro kitchen table set.
Start with the layout of your kitchen so that you can properly place your new retro kitchen table set in a spot that just screams perfection. This is where you want to make sure that the shape and design of the new retro kitchen decor will fit in with the entire kitchen design you have chosen. In other words, pick a theme and stick with it. The best thing about a retro design is that you can have a lot of fun with color. Try unexpected combinations like sea foam green and tangerine to bring in a 50's vibe with a modern edge.
A beautiful arrangement of rounded angles and bright pastel colors are what retro kitchen design is all about. Chrome and vinyl are two elements that you will constantly see used throughout all types of vintage retro kitchen decor. Modern pieces inspired by retro furniture may use more organic materials like leather of dyed cotton. Strive for a mix of both vintage and new pieces to keep your kitchen inspired by the 50's but not stuck in them. For example, top a 1950's dining set with fresh flowers or square dinnerware to keep things feeling relevant.
There are a lot of places to find retro kitchen table sets. Start by looking in antique stores, but don't rush to buy something unless you really love it since prices in these stores are often inflated. Don't be afraid to bargain with the store owner or manager. Consider offering something in trade to lower the price. Flea markets are often a cheaper place to find vintage retro decore, but there will be a lot of competition for high quality items. Try posting a free online classified describing what you are looking for and the perfect dining set may come to you and will probably be at an excellent price. Lastly, let friends and family know what you are looking for. Someone may have an elderly relative who would be willing to sell you an old dining set they own.
